... but now I'm curious. What is the etymology of the phrase "stomping grounds?" It kind of makes sense if you think of it as preparing a place to bed for the night or build a shelter or something, but I'm still curious.

Anime is kind of like fish in that it is better the less "fishy" it is.

Stomping ground (originally stamping ground until stomp started to replace stamp as the standard form of the word) is pretty much exactly that; it comes from various animals' habit of stamping out the grass before laying down for the night.

"That's not interactive, there's no back-and-forth with the other player and how much fun is it to watch someone incredibly good at moving their eyes? And then whichever Seeker gets lucky swoops in and grabs the Snitch and makes everyone else's work moot. It's like someone took a real game and grafted on this pointless extra position just so that you could be the Most Important Player without needing to really get involved or learn the rest of it. Who was the first Seeker, the King's idiot son who wanted to play Quidditch but couldn't understand the rules?" Actually, now that Harry thought about it, that seemed like a surprisingly good hypothesis. Put him on a broomstick and tell him to catch the shiny thing...

I thought you fell in love with a Mafia princess and ended up at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay with concrete galoshes!

Where've ya been?

Well luckily i wasn't with some mafia princess. Was going to college, and dealing with family issues.

^^ good to see you all again.
